Explanatory Credits

Sometimes, the true ending of a movie or a series isn't seen before the credits roll but after that and the story makes no sense if you don't sit trough said credits to know the eventual conclusion of the show.

See Where Are They Now Epilogue, which might overlap with this trope but limits to only epilogues that show brief glimpses of a number of characters. Distant Finale is for a whole scene, usually with dialogue, but it isn't necessarily played after the credits. I think this trope will need to distinguish itself from both of those, as well as from The Stinger.
